That huge magazine stack that’s been collecting under your bed can be used in many ways. Try making quotations or maxims out of letters that you’ve cut from magazines in different sizes, colors and fonts. A simple way to get a cool retro feel is to cut out letters from the cover page, different ads, and article titles.
Cute pictures and designs to use in visual projects may be in old magazines. I have developed the habit of decorating my scrapbooks with pages from fashion spreads to serve as the background. They truly follow a theme and don’t have too much writing on them. Unwanted writing can easily be covered with a picture or other design.
A good thing to do is to use an internet search to find ideas for your scrapbook. For example, when I started my daughter’s scrapbook, I searched Google images for terms like "baby girl", "it’s a girl", and etc. Not only did I find a lot of cute stuff, I also saved a ton of money!
Just search on different search engines images tool for terms related to the project you’re doing. Plenty of results which you can print out and use in your projects will be found by you. I’d suggest you only use these graphics for personal purposes though, since some may have copyrights on them. As long as they’re used only within your personal crafts, that shouldn’t be a problem.
If you don’t have a printer, you can print them out at your local library or school if you attend for a couple cents a sheet. It’s still much cheaper than buying stickers and designs from art supply stores.
If you are running a bit low on glue, it’s a little-known fact that you can make some yourself! Based on the amount of glue required, combine equal parts flour plus water. Mix it up until it turns into a pasty substance.
This type of homemade glue should be used immediately after mixing, otherwise it will become moldy if left out. This item is very well suited for paper projects; remember to leave it out to dry completely after use.
You can always add glitter for a nice touch even if you do have glue and use it as paint to decorate stuff.
